Joe Arpaio has it all to be a GOP hero. He’s hard on crime. He treats his criminals in ways that would get you imprisoned if you treated animals that way. He demeans common small time crime offenders.

Oh yeah, he’s also a raging anti-immigrant racist. Arizona seems to breed these guys like weeds.

One other thing. Some of his co-workers think he’s a disgrace to the badge.

You won’t catch me arguing against that.

Overstepping his bounds, going out of his way to punish offenders, dragging his policies into politics, he’s an all-around dirtbag. Heck, I think we *should* be tougher on criminals, I just don’t think we need to treat them like livestock.

First off, here is the standard Politico “hit job” on a conservative. List every bad thing a Republican has ever done by slowly and quietly trying to pooh-pooh it all away.

“Sure, he’s PROBABLY a racist, but you can’t find a picture of him in Klanwear so you can’t prove it.”

He’s the less slightly “fair-and-balanced” point of view from Rachel Maddow (admittedly not unbiased herself):

Guess which opinionated point of view I’m going to go with? The one that says that co-workers of this dirtbag basically call him a racist.

He has, in the past, called anti-Iraq War protestors un-American and traitors. He’s against stem cell research, anti-environment, anti-immigrant, anti-voting rights.

But hey! He’s all for torture and wire-tapping. Plus he’s all for harassing black voters.

Since he’s the GOP’s guy in charge of trying to derail anyone who President Obama picks for the Supreme Court, finding out whether or not this guy IS a Kloset Klucker might not be such a bad idea.

The GOP as the clowns they are.

“I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”

– Sam the Day Laborer

Read this and go to the actual article if you can stand it.

This scumbag has taken his 15 minutes of fame and run wild with it. First he tried to pick a fight with then-Senator Obama over the concept of restoring some fairness to the tax code over a tax rate for the 4 percenters that he certainly wasn’t going to qualify for.

I mean, let’s be honest. Even including what he’s getting paid under the table, the guy was probably barely scratching forty grand a year. I’ve been a journeyman contractor type and you don’t get top pay or top picks of jobs to get on.

So, from what I know, the guy’s name is Sam, not Joe.

He’s not a plumber.

He doesn’t make a quarter million a year.

From what I know, he’s divorced and probably doesn’t have a lot of access to his kids.

And, of course, like any GOP stalwart, he’s an anti-gay bigot.

Look folks, the more credibility and press we give idiots like this, the more the world thinks they represent all of us.

BONUS IDIOT: Rudy Giuliani, who sold out his friends’ and skipped their wedding (they are gay) to score political points with his Rethug pals. What a scumbag.

A whole gaggle of Republican talking heads for ya. You know the GOP mantra: “When in doubt blame/bomb a brown person”. They are really on their game this time around.

More on the radio dickweeds that are jumping with both feet into the hate pool.

My “favorite” of this ilk is unknown tool Jay Severin, who has a litany of racist slurs. Careful Michael Steele, you might find yourself out of a job if this windbag gets any more traction.

Yeah, I know that not ALL Republicans are racist: just most of the elected ones. And apparently all of the ones on radio. Look, if you don’t want to be labeled with such a wide brush as being the Bigot Party, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TO ELECT PEOPLE WHO AREN’T HATEMONGERS!

Just a thought anyway.

It isn’t enough for Republicans to hate gay people.

It isn’t enough for them to deny them basic civil rights.

It isn’t enough to deny them to right to express their love of another by joining their lives together.

Nah, it isn’t even enough to smear their names once they’ve been horrifically executed.

Nope. To be a proper Republican. To be one who represents other Republicans in our nation’s capital, you have to diminish the death of an average American citizen, and the repeatedly offer fake apologies for saying the hate-filled shit you believe in.

Apparently she, and others of her ilk, forgot the “with liberty and justice for all” bit.
